What is being bought

Published requirement description

Fire Risk Assessments Housing and Corporate

  • No preliminary market engagement: Preliminary market engagement was not undertaken, therefore a Preliminary Market Engagement Notice was not published prior to this tender due to extenuating circumstances of operational urgency. Delaying the launch of the procurement to accommodate a separate pre-procurement notice period would have created an unacceptable risk of critical service failure.

What this means for your bid

Price arithmetic assumes straight proportional scoring; the tender pack may use another formula.
